The challenge today was making a nice rich dark background to help the yellow daisies pop. Also, my side lighting was quite strong, so I tried to match the glow it created. Lots of learning still going on. 

Also, just a reminder, I do make a serious effort to insure that my paintings are as true to colour on the computer screen as they are in real life.

This lovely bunch of flowers were carried home in the cold and rain, but they stayed cheerful!
